my boyfriend recently told me that he has a long history of colon cancer with the males in his family. im not sure if he shows any symptoms of it,but im just worried. every 14 years all of the men in their family get a check up for it,just to make sure. i don't know if im making a big deal out of it,but i just want to make sure he's ok.do you think that he might have it?

I would say the best thing for you to do is relax. Ask him to check to make sure there isn't traces of blood in his feces. Scants of red blood could mean that a polyp is open. A polyp is a sign of rectal and colon cancer. If he is being checked out however there shouldn't be anything to worry about. He may also want to change his diet to include foods that support a healthy colon. try www.mayoclinic.com
